3D Modeling
I hired Brandon to work on a modeling project with complex mechanical features and insufficient documentation. Brandon adapted to this difficult request and designed a workable and clever solution. While his approach was found too expensive to produce, he came back with a very much less expensive design which is very likely to meet the requirements of the project. All along on the project, Brandon has been an excellent contractor. He efficiently worked with a very uncertain set of requirements given the poor level of documentation available. Further, he has been a complete gentleman throughout and a distinct pleasure with whom to work. I have 12 years as an engineering customer with the federal government, 13 years as a contractor with Lockheed Martin in the capacity of Chief Engineer and 7 years as a consultant. I wholeheartedly recommend The CAD Guy as a very valuable consultant, designer and contractor. Paul B. Schlein, PhdAe

Brandon is so much more than just an amazing CAD Designer. He takes care of the complete product design from concept to manufacturing. He has so much great advice on how to design a product for the marketplace and even how and where to sell, which is information I had trouble finding on my own. Communicating with him is a pleasure too; he is very responsive and caters to my schedule and needs. 5/5 would definitely recommend!

I needed help getting started with a leading CAD system. The 90 minutes with the CAD guy were just what was needed. He led the conversation, but responded accurately whenever I needed to stop the flow for specifics or clarification. Not only that, he created my first part for me.🙂 It's clear that he knows the ins and outs of CAD design, and is articulate in explaining it. I was completely satisfied.

Brandon was very hands on and worked directly with me virtually to get the jewelry design I wanted to achieve and more. Very patient, knowledgeable, professional and responded within 10 minutes of my reaching out to him via thumbtack. I highly recommend his services. Thank you Brandon, I’m happy and my customer is very pleased and has proceeded with the order. Wishing you much success! Maria

Working with the CAD Guy has been such a great experience! I was clueless in this industry and Brandon walked me through every step of the process with professionalism and realistic expectations. His CAD skills and depth of creativity have helped me put my invention to life. I would recommend the CAD Guy to everyone I know that needs this line of work.
